Happy New Year, Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
You just turned 70.
Yes.
It was fantastic.
You had a big party?
Had a big party in New York at Cipriani.
We had to have the party in New York
because my wife's on Broadway doing To Kill a Mockingbird,
so she's got eight shows a week.
Yeah, wow.
Y'all are busy!
Yeah.
So Stevie Wonder performed, right?
Yes, he did.
And there's Spike Lee and Magic Johnson.
And so, I heard Judge Judy was tearing up the place.
Yeah, Judge Judy killed it.
She came and grabbed me and took me to the dance floor.
I was trying to eat.
She was like, no, no.
Let's go.
We're dancing.
So we hit it.
Did she-- was it, like, late?
Did she stay late?
She was there a pretty good while, yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
There was there was so much going on in that party.
I was trying to eat.
I looked up and realized, oh my god.
People are dancing already.
And we're not eating yet.
And they were killing it.
And there was a casino in there that I didn't know about.
And we were raising money for--
Did your wife put it on for you?
--Children's Defense Fund.
Yeah.
Wow.
So it was great.
Oh, that's great.
That's really fun.
You're not home that often.
You have done 120 movies, which is a lot of movies.
Is it?
It really is.
I mean, what?
Who's done more movies than you?
I don't know.
I'd think a lot of people, I would think.
I don't think there's--
I mean, 120 is a lot.
And you still love it.
I do.
Movie sets are my favorite place to hang out.
Is it easy for you to relax when you're not--
I mean, what's the longest period of time you've had off?
Maybe a month and a half?
Well, I take a month every year to go on vacation.
Right, with Steve Harvey's family, right?
No, not with-- actually, we're on yachts.
I know, it sounds bad, right?
It sounds awful.
No, it sounds great.
We kind of rent yachts.
So Steve and Marjorie have a yacht.
And in the last two years, my wife and I
rented a yacht for two weeks so we
can be with my daughter and her friends.
And then we're on another yacht with Ervin and Magic Johnson
and Cookie for the rest of the month.
So they pay for the other two weeks?
That's smart.
Well, no.
Everybody--
Oh, you kick in?
Everybody takes care of it.
But this year was so bizarre because we were all out there
at the same time.
So Steve and Marjorie had their yacht, we had ours,
and Ervin and Cookie were out there with ours.
So it was like these three black couples with super yachts
in the Mediterranean, you know?
So it was different.
Where were you?
Where'd you go?
Wow, we go up and down the Amalfi Coast,
back up to Saint Tropez--
Parmesan cheese, and--
Well, yeah.
And we get some France, we get some Italy.
That's fantastic.
And the ladies get to shop.
It's really great.
OK, so you-- I saw this.
Was this at the party?
You had this vest on that had a list of all the movies
that you've been in?
Yes, that's the-- yeah.
That's the back of my vest.
But on the inside of the suit, Diedrich, my tailor--
from [INAUDIBLE] Tailors-- made the lining to my suits.
So all the linings of my suits and the back of the vest
have a list of all the movies that I've done.
So yeah, it's a lot of stuff.
All the suits have that?
Yeah, and he got them in alphabetical order.
Yeah, I had a bunch of corduroy suits made for the press
junket, because we're going places in winter
and I didn't have, like, proper winter clothes.
I have some cashmere, but I didn't have--
I love corduroy.
So I had him make corduroy suits.
And he put that in the lining of those, and an overcoat
that they made me.
Did you ask him to do that, or he just did that?
He was trying to find something unique.
And I said, I don't know.
I don't know.
I have things that have my face in them.
So it was like, I'll just try and find all the movies.
So my assistant gave him a list of all the movies.
And that's what he did.
And it's a lot of them.
And he has to keep adding.
So we got you a birthday gift.
Oh, nice!
We got you something with all your appearances on our show.
Oh really?
Yeah.
It's not as--
That's a tenth of all the movies I've done.
So it's 11.
Yeah, right.
You need to come here more often.
I need one more time, and I'll have a perfect 10.
